The Wheels Are In Motion...

Steve is attacking the outside of our house.  And it needs it--badly!  Here is what it looks like right now.



The construction site is back



The roof is gone!




Can't wait until it's finished

 We're trying to choose exterior paint colors (if you noticed in the pictures).  The siding is in decent shape, and it will save us a ton of money to just paint it.  Can you believe this house was painted a very dark brown 30 years ago?!?  This green olive color is what it faded to!

We are between two colors.



Top color: Hardware from Sherwin Wlms; Bottom color: Link Gray from Sherwin Wlms

It's tough!  We both love the colors, so at least that worked out.  Now it's just between the two.  Any opinions???

Our plan is to paint the house first, and then Steve will build our porch.  We ordered the wood, and it should be coming within 2 weeks or so.  Here is a (very hard to see!) roped outline made by Steve for the porch.  It will wrap the front and the side of the house.



Can you see it?  The rope is yellow, and there are stakes in the ground

I'm excited for the end product.  I'm looking forward to sitting on my porch on a pretty summer evening.  Oh, who am I kidding... I can't wait to buy me a ping pong table and put it on my massive porch! :)  Game on!

Of course our kids are helping us out today...

Yeah, right.

Enjoy your Sunday!
